Free agent pass-rusher Dwight Freeney is nearing a deal with the San Diego Chargers, reports Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com. Freeney had a two-day meeting (Wednesday and Thursday) with the Chargers, who are in the market for pass-rush help after losing Shaun Phillips to free agency and Melvin Ingram to a torn ACL. Phillips led the Chargers with 9.5 sacks last season and his departure, to AFC West rival Denver Broncos, was expected to be cushioned by a larger role for Ingram, a 2012 first-round pick who suffered what will likely be a season-ending knee injury during the team’s second day of OTA practices . The 33-year-old Freeney spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Indianapolis Colts, earning seven trips to the Pro Bowl while becoming that franchise’s all-time leader in sacks with 107.5. Most of Freeney’s production came during his first ten seasons as a defensive end in a 4-3 system. Last season, the Colts hired Chuck Pagano as head coach and, in a new 3-4 system, Freeney was moved to outside linebacker. Freeney posted just five sacks, his lowest total since notching 3.5 sacks in an injury-shortened 2007 season.

COMMENTARY | For Brandon Weeden, this may be his last chance to show the Browns he can be the arm and the leader they need to capitalize on the positive changes they’ve made from the front office down. The good news is Weeden’s arm strength fits into offensive coordinator Norv Turner’s vertical offense style of play, and Turner is known for adapting the game plan to the talent. Add a solid offensive line and legitimate running game that will keep opposing defenses honest and the conditions might be just right for Weeden to excel.
